In the nineteenth century, French and Mexican intellectuals had a
common interest in providing a groundwork for educating better
citizens in response to social crises. There were political and
philosophical controversies regarding science and technology in
this environment between spiritualists (humanists) and positivists
(scientists).. Power and knowledge were intertwined in these
controversies. Another objective of the book is to show that
controversies can be seen as a dispute between two cultures between
those in favor of science and technology and those in favor of
philosophy and the humanities. Their continuous arguments
articulated a third culture based on an intertwining of power and
knowledge. This articulation had an implicit dimension in which
philosophy, science, and technology had to interact to enrich the
political potential of the human experience of thinking. They were
able to grasp a mix or a synthesis that conceptualized the power of
a metaphysical artifact in which philosophy, science, and
technology belong to the same culture, where politics helps invite
dialogue between different cultural, religious, and political
perspectives.
